"Firefox 96.0 hangs after a while - loses connectivity": workaround for rhbz 2040189

2022-01-13 Thread Felix Schwarz

Hi,

I guess this might affect quite a few people so I hope I can save you a few 
minutes to find the workaround:


Firefox 96.0 hangs after a while - loses connectivity
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2040189


upstream bug:
Infinite loop in HTTP3 hangs socket thread
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1749908


Workarounds (from the upstream bug):

If anyone need to fix it, please open "about:config" in a new tab.
Search : "network.http.http3.enabled"
change to false, then restart firefox.



Other workaround: Go to preferences -> Firefox Data Collection and uncheck 
everything. Then restart Firefox

Not sure what you are actually doing but this works for me:

fedpkg clone --anonymous gnome-python2
cd gnome-python2
git checkout f31
fedpkg --release=f32 mockbuild
(same for pyorbit)

Besides that you should try to use sbackup with Python 3 somehow as it is
pretty likely that you won't be able to use the gnome/pyorbit libraries
anymore due to newer external dependencies in a few months/years.

Well, Nvidia graphics cards are always problematic in Fedora (as mentioned in
your previous thread).

Maybe the binary installer will work fine but you should expect more work and
you might have to spend some more time in the future because some updates in
the graphics stack/kernel might be incompatible with the Nvidia driver. As far
as I know compatibility with the Nvidia driver is not release blocking which
means updates might be pushed (even in stable Fedora versions) which are known
to break the Nvidia driver.

I'm using AMD cards for ~8 years with Fedora now.

I experienced some issues but nothing I'd consider a major blocker (I had
similar problems with intel-based gfx cards in my laptops).

These were mostly regressions and usually there was a workaround.
- There were times when there was a chance that the kernel locked up after
  resuming from suspend (maybe 1/3 tries).
- Garbled screen after resume (old r600g driver, workaround was to switch to
  the console + back manually)
- I have one extremly old dosbox game which will hang my GPU when using AMD's
  "DC" mode with X.org. Workaround: Disable DC with kernel parameter (and
  loose HDMI audio)

I'm not using accelerated video encode/decore (as far as I know) nor OpenCL
(getting ROCm to work with Fedora is a *major* pain point).

One the plus side I always had a free driver and kernel bisections were easy.
AMD cards always worked out of the box after install (though there were times
when I used mesa.git and/or AMD kernel trees for bisection). I could use
Wayland from the first day and GPU performance seems to be ok (I'm not much of
a gamer).

Also I found that the AMD mesa developers are pretty responsive if you are
able to pinpoint a regression to a specific commit.

I'm only using borgbackup which is very similar to restic and all I can say
that it works great. restic has some additional features over borgbackup (e.g.
Windows support, somewhat faster, cloud-storage backends) while borgbackup can
also compress backup data (before encryption).

Also I think restic is a bit newer than borgbackup and they improved their
software recently (I think restic used to need much more RAM than borg though
I think that has been fixed).

Both packages are available in Fedora so you can just try it yourself. All I
can say that the "always incremental" approach works really, really well for
me (including restore!).

Not 100% correct.
In newer Fedora versions "/usr/bin/pip" refers to the Python 3 version of 
"pip". No need to use "pip3". Actually F32 does not contain any Python 2 
version of "pip" at all.
(I could only check "rawhide" aka Fedora 32 right now - so maybe this is 
different for Fedora 31.)

Re: repositories very out-of-date for Thunderbird version?

2019-09-17 Thread Felix Schwarz

Hi,

Am 17.09.19 um 04:08 schrieb home user:
I very recently asked a question in the Thunderbird support forum. One person 
replied

"Find yourself an updated Thunderbird...".
I have version 60.7.0; the person implied that the current version is 68.  
That's 8 versions out-of-date.  I do a "dnf upgrade" every Thursday.


As Gordon already mentioned Thunderbird 68 was released just a few weeks ago 
and the previous version was 60.7.


Thunderbird uses Firefox's version numbers without having the release pace of 
Firefox so they will skip some versions.


I did a "dnf check-update thunderbird" this afternoon..  No new versions are 
available.  Why are the repositories so far behind on Thunderbird?


Thunderbird 68 is currently in updates-testing:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-32c48d9a5f

You can install it using
   sudo dnf update thunderbird --enablerepo=updates-testing

Often Fedora maintainers tend to be a bit more conservative when updating the 
"old" Fedora version so F29 might get updates a bit later than F30. Also 
updates in F30 tend to get more user testing ("karma"). That helps getting 
these updates in the "stable" repository sooner.


=> You can help!
   - get a Fedora account
   - install the version from updates-testing
   - send your comments/karma to bodhi

Also some extensions are not yet compatible with Thunderbird's new technology 
so if you use addons better check if they are compatible.


As far as I know the new Thunderbird version is not updated automatically on 
Windows for that very reason (IIRC they plan to do that with 68.1).

There are a few requests for PyPDF2 in bugzilla. As I mentioned a couple of
times I'd like to see a new package for that instead of upgrading pypdf
itself. You should be able to find some spec file attempts in one of the open
bugs.

If you are going to submit a pypdf2 package for review feel free to cc me in bz.

For example:

Even when I modified the CSS (with Firebug) to use just the font-family

But I realize that this is very likely a machine-specific issue (installed

Are there any troubleshooting guides for such things?

Umlaut 'ü' not displayed correctly in Firefox/Chrome

Hi,

I'm on Fedora 17, using a German locale. Since today's yum update the German
umlaut 'ü' is not displayed for some sans-serif fonts on some web pages
anymore. Interestingly enough that's purely a display issue and both Firefox
and Chrome are affected.

The yum updated updated two fonts (lohit-kannada-fonts, wqy-zenhei-fonts)
which I manually uninstalled but to no avail.

Interestingly the problem seems related to HTML headlines (, , ...)
but not regular text.

I saw the issue on multiple sites

How can I debug that issue? Anyone else with a similar problem?

Power Button initiates immediate shutdown procedure

2012-01-12 Thread Felix Schwarz
Hi,

when I press the computer's power button my F16 system immediately starts the
shutdown procedure. Even if I'm logged in (Gnome3) all my programs are shut
down without further notice.


With F14 Gnome used to show a shutdown dialog where I could prevent the system
from powering down.

I tried to change some settings in dconf to get the old behavior by setting
all power-* keys in org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power to interactive.
However this did not have any effect.


How can I either make Fedora to ignore the power button completely or show the
shutdown menu so I can cancel the shutdown?

I enabled the magic sysrq and verified that I can use it when the system

react to any of the sysrq combinations.

So it looks to me like the system is just completely dead. Any ideas how

Thanks for the suggestion. However I can't make much sense out of it. 
Basically what I see at the end just before the crash is a lot 
(dozens/hundreds?) of lines like this one:

events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=35, events=POLLIN}, {fd=55, events=POLLIN}, 
{fd=17, events=POLLIN}], 10, 500 

The only thing that looks a bit differently (beside a couple of futexes) is:
read(24, "GIOP\1\2\1\1U\0\0\0", 12) = 12

Anything I could watch out for?
Does anyone has experience how open the Firefox developers are if I

As you can imagine, this is pretty annoying. I even reinstalled firefox 
and created a new system user to check if this was dependend on my 
profile but it was not.

As no one else mentioned this problem on the list so far (did I overlook 
something), I guess it's something related to my installation.

How I can diagnose the issue?
Can someone makes sense of the traceback which is attached to the bug

Hi,

I installed selenium-server on Fedora 13 but now I have problems

I'm looking the Fedora equivalent of
   java -jar selenium-server.jar

I tried (online line)
java -cp 
/usr/share/java/selenium-server-coreless.jar:/usr/share/java/commons-logging.jar:/usr/share/java/ant.jar:/usr/share/java/servlet.jar
 
org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer

The server starts up but when I connect with a Python client, I get this 
stack trace on the console and no browser is opened:
http://pastebin.com/tEbfVN1h

What's the correct command to start up the selenium server?

There are a couple of bugs:

Some also have security impact. Basically the problem is that it is extremly 
hard to provide the ABI/config stability for clamav. Combined with a few

and we have a basically orphaned package in EPEL.

I've spoken to a few Fedora packagers who where interested in maintaining the 
package. However the premise for them was that they can also decide how the 
Fedora package should look like - and at that time the current maintainer had 
strong feelings about this topic...

If you could initiate a discussion on epel-devel, I can ping a few of the 
previously interested people...

It is supposed to fix that issue.

There is python-psycopg2 which is afaik far more popular.
